Residential Garbage Collection

Place cart out before 8:00am, but no earlier than 4:00am on garbage collection day. Residents must remove carts and recycling bins from the curbside area by 7:00pm by the end of the day.

Homes adjacent to the collection lane must place carts on the adjacent resident’s property. It must not be separated by a fence, gate, or other structure. For more information, contact the Service Centre at 250-561-7600.

Do NOT overfill carts and make sure lids are completely closed. Overloaded carts will not be emptied.

NOTE: The City of Prince George only provides garbage collection services and does not operate curbside recycling pick-up. For information on recycling and recycle schedules and guides, contact Recycle BC.

Residents who have a permanent physical disability and have difficulty moving their bin to the collection point without help from another person may contact the City of Prince George to apply for the Set Out/Set Back service. City Crews will assist by moving bins to the collection point and return them once they have been emptied. Complete following the application form and return it to City Hall.
